Hi G
I was doing make core-iso, can you try that?
i have testing enabled in my real pacman.conf, yet i got these
problems. download.sh will by default only core packages, so I don't
really understand how you can get the kernel from testing without
modifying

Btw, my last problem: download.sh downloaded packages first from
testing, then core, then extra.  so baseurl was set with 'extra' in it.
it tried to download http://lalala/extra/.../testing.tar.gz which is
incorrect.

I also haven't applied your patches yet
(http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2009-June/000504.html)
do we stil need to do this?
